‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Sitting At 99 Percent On Rotten Tomatoes

Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok will be hitting theaters next week, and the early reviews have been very positive. The film is the latest entry within the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be Certified Fresh on the popular movie review site, Rotten Tomatoes.

As of the publishing of this article, Thor: Ragnarok is currently sitting at an impressive 99% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. So far, 71 reviews have been counted with 70 positive reviews by critics and only one negative review.

The approval rating is expected to drop as more reviews are added, but with overwhelmingly positive reviews this early on, Thor: Ragnarok already has the MCU’s highest approval rating.

Director Taika Waititi seems to have hit this one out of the park, proving that his collaboration with Marvel Studios was a match made in heaven. Given the overwhelming reaction, hopefully this allows Marvel to continue to gamble with filmmakers that have a distinct vision with their storytelling.

“Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth) finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor’s quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela (Cate Blanchett) from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.”

7 Ways The Marvel Cinematic Universe Can Improve

Marvel Studios has changed the way that superhero films are being structured and looked upon. They have created a series of incredibly successful films under their umbrella and moved into television with several great shows (especially over on Netflix), making them a force to be reckoned with. However, Marvel has kind of become a little too comfortable when it comes to things like taking risks.

While Marvel’s films still get great reviews and are really entertaining for the most part, they also feel like safe bets. The Marvel Cinematic Universe films don’t really feel separate and there are things the studio can do to improve upon their already-winning formula. There are many things they can reach for and it’s a great time to look at these things as we move towards the release of Thor: Ragnarok, as well as next year’sBlack Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp.

It deserves all the high praise from critics. It is very enjoyable to watch. Saw it 3 times already, and plan to see it again in the coming weeks.

Do you people still not understand how rotten tomatoes works? The tomato meter means very little ..it’s the average score right below it you should be paying attention to. Right enow it’s at 7.7 which is not the highest rated marvel film. Wonder woman has 92% but is a 7.6 average rating.. all the 99% means is or now 97% means is that people liked it more than hated it.
